The Hamaker Case.

Yesterday the case of the People vs..
J. s. Hamaker for assault with a
deadly weapon was called in Justice
Taney's court. The evidence showed
that on the Fourth of July Hamaker
saw a neighbor named Hunter, as he
thought, abusing his little boy, Harry
Hamaker. Mr.. Hamaker rushed to
the scene and although q weak man
he knocked Hunter down and whipped
him severely. Mr.. Hunter insisted
that Mr.. Hamaker had hit him with
rock and hence the charge of
assault with a deadly weapon.
After an all day trial and the intro
duction of considerable evidence,
Justice Taney rendered decision
that Hamaker was guilty of assault,
and fined him $25. This fine was
paid, and the whole matter was set
tied. Mr.. Hamaker is a very nice
gentleman, and the testimony showed
him to be peaceful, law-abiding cit
izen. The outcome of the matter is
doubtless gratifying to all parties, and
there will be no further trouble. Mr..
Hamaker is employed by the Los An
geles Furniture Company, and will
make this city his home.

NOVelChiclSQrlS.

A novel sight was witnessed in a
Los Angeles street commission house
Tuesday afternoon, as result of the
high temperature OF the past few days
in this section. The commission
merchant in question received con-
signment of eggs, packed in boxes,
after the usual manner. The eggs
were placed in storage, and yesterday
afternoon the consignee had occasion
to open the cases. When the lid was
removed the low call of chicks
sounded in his ears. One entire layer
was found to be Matching out, and
in II few minutes after the eggs were
brought to the light fifteen well devel-
oped chicks picked their way through
the shells. A motherly old hen was
taken from coop and placed in pos
session OF the brood. A mutual under
standing was soon reached, and the
entire family are doing well. Another
layer OF eggs began to hatch out soon
after, and at last accounts it looked as
if the entire consignment will hatch.
The man who reported this story has
been arrested for perjury.

After Mason.

| After Mason.
ARTEsIA, July 20, 1886.
EDITORS HERALD: The small farm
ers have been on the lookout for the
assessment roll, and your statement
in regard to the same did not take
them by surprise, for, at the time that
Mason's deputies were assessing, and
the small farmers found their assess
ments raised from 100 to500 per cent.
they knew they were bit. At the
time of Mason's election, \it was
given out by Mason and his friends
that there would be no discrimina-
ton; that the large ranchos, espe-
cially the balance of the Los Coyotes
and others that surround us here,
would be assessed the same as our
own, that is the same class
of land. On the strength of
this the Democrats helped to swell
the large majority he got in this and
other precincts near here. Now when
it is found that this same Los Coyotes
Rancho, A. Robinson, trustee, is
$2S, 1000 less than last year, we con-
slider it an outrage. Masons deputies
were well qualified for the business.
They knew how to assess small far
mers, because they were very small
farmers themselves. Nothing escaped
them, even an old stove that an old
widow woman had for fifteen years
was raised in value. Mares, on ac-
count of being in foal, were raised,
and the last chicken, even if it had
the sorehead, had to go in. / suppose
for fear of being discharged if they did
not obey the instructions of Mr..
Mason the deputies put in everything.
| suppose Mason thought the poor
farmers would submit like they always
do to any kind of assessment. Where
as if he assessed the big ranchos in
the same rates they would kick and
take the same into court and cause
heap of trouble. l cannot account for
it in any other way. His brother, L.
G. Mason, was deputy here a short
time he told friend of mine, who
was grumbling about his assessment,
that it would be all right, the Demo-
Gratis, having majority in the Board
of Supervisors, would lower them if
they found them too high. Is this not
rich? If the State Board of Equaliza-
tion had selected man from the
Northern citrus belt, he would not
have had the impudence to have
raised us over $25 100000 over last
years assessment.
Is this thing to go on four years
longer? We look to the Supervisors
for relief. If they find Gas you say
that Mason is incompetent, they should
not hesitate to stop his salary, if it lays
in their power to do SO but whether he
is or not, he undoubtedly has a bad
attack of the disease called big head.
Respectfully yours,
GEO. FRAMPTON.

ALVAN d. BROCK,
One of the Notable Business Men
of Los Angeles.
Future of Southern California.

Future of Southern California.
In all ranks and classes of business there
are some individuals who stand out, as 1T
were, pre-eminent among their fellows, re-
markable for their superiority In those pc
culiar qualities of mind and disposition
that insure success and command the re-
spect and esteem of their associates. What
seems difficult, or perhaps impossible of ac-
complishment to the generality of men be-
comes with them very simple matter.
Under their management difficulties van
ish and obstacles are swept aside, apparently
without an effort. 1t is to such men that
Southern California owes much of its pres
ent prosperity. Their genius has dfscerned
the splendid advantages and resources OF
this country, and their fertile minds have
devised ways and means of insuring the full
development of those resources and the util-
ization of those advantages.
Prominent among the men OF this class
stands Mr.. Alvan d. Brock, of Los Angeles.
He has labored for the development and
prosperity of this section with ceaseless act
iyity, and with uniform success in all his
undertakings. He is a man of broad and
liberal views, and recognizes the great fact
ESQ often lost sight of by grasping selfish
ness) that the prosperity of the community
includes and insures the prosperity OF the
individual Acting upon this conviction
and with an undeviating, adherence to the
principles of liberality, honesty and fa1l
dealing, he has attained position and built
UP business of which any man might wei
be proud. Mr.. Brock owns and has for salt
property of every kind and description in
almost all parts of Southern California, and
those who buy from him can rely upon hi,
representations and rest assured OF being
dealt with on the strictest principles of homo
and probity.
